While the controversy has been huge, we discuss the evidence and data on early Covid treatment in everyone and also  infections, morbidity, and risk to kids from infections as well as vaccines. At the time of this interview, rates of myocarditis in healthy young adults are now being correlated  with the vaccine.The CDC confirmed at least 226 confirmed cases of myocarditis, have been reported in people under 30 who got the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.
